The Florida special election results are in and Democrat Ted Deutsch won easily. Deutsch won by a count of 62-35 over Ed Lynch.
In May, both Pennsylvania and Hawaii will hold special congressional elections and Republicans look much more promising there.

Hawaii is an interesting case. After the poor management of Neil Abercrombie's resignation by the Democrats (allowing him to leave before the final vote on health care was cast, compared to the way the Republicans insisted on keeping all their members around), it seems the national party wants to compound their mistakes. The DCCC seems adamant about pushing Ed Case, a 1 term Blue Dog from a different district who lost his seat when he stepped down to launch a conservative primary against Daniel Akaka for Senate. Nobody in the state party wants him to run and because its an open election Case could steal enough votes to split the Democratic vote and give a D+11 district to the Republican. I can't for the life of me figure out why the national party is forcing an unpopular conservative on an unwilling state party.
